[July 21, 2023]  Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison has been cited for speeding and reckless driving after he was clocked by a state trooper for traveling 140 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone. 

Per the Minnesota State Patrol, Addison was driving his Lamborghini Urus on Interstate 94 going eastbound in St. Paul when a trooper pulled him over on Thursday morning at 3 a.m. CT.

Addison was not arrested, however police said the investigation is ongoing.

"We are aware of last night's traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information," the Vikings said in a statement.

Addison, 21, was selected by the Vikings with the 23rd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Southern California. He is expected to compete with K.J. Osborn for the No. 2 wide receiver slot behind star Justin Jefferson.

Addison had 59 receptions for 875 yards and eight touchdowns in his lone season with the Trojans. He transferred from Pitt ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Addison caught 100 passes for 1,593 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2021 with the Panthers, earning him the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver.

Vikings rookies are scheduled to report to training camp on Sunday.
